My research goal is to discover and develop new
technologies for crop production, management and breeding. Current research
focuses on Integration of sensing and robotic
technologies to improve crop management, production and
phenotyping. The objectives include:

The PAA Lab is part of the
Department of
Agricultural Systems Management (ASM)
and Division of Food
Systems and Bioengineering (FSB).
With the focus of agricultural automation, research area
involves
a large range of targets, including sensing technologies in precision
agriculture and phenomics (high throughput crop phenotyping),
and mechanical and robotic technologies in crop harvesting,
management and breeding. Most research projects will be
multidisciplinary, with close collaboration with experts in
Engineering, Plant Science (breeding, plant physiology, stress
biology), Agronomy and other crop related professionals.
By engineering crops with
state-of-art technologies, reseaches will boost the solutions
for world hunger and labor issues.
